WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary William Cohen on Friday created a task force to review whether men and women should receive military training together, a practice that came under fire in the aftermath of recent sex scandals. The 10-member panel, chaired by former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, will have six months to make recommendations on a range of training and discipline policies, including the contentious issue of whether the Army, Air Force and Navy should require separate training for men and women.
